You know how Donald Trump has been looking for a way to punish Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation into Trump and his associates’ criminal collusion with a hostile foreign dictator? Well, Devin Nunes is going to do that for him!

On Sunday, Nunes announced on Fox News that since the Justice Department has refused to comply with a subpoena for information that was used to convince a FISA court to approve wiretaps on Trump cronie Carter Page, he’s going to use that as an excuse to do what Donald Trump wants.

“The only thing that’s left that we can do is we have to move quickly to hold the attorney general of the United States in contempt and that’s what I’m going to press for this week,” Nunes told the Trump-friendly panel of morons. “We’ve asked for very important information, it’s still classified. Because of the way they conducted this information, most of this information is classified. But because this is so important, I’m not going to take any excuse to say, ‘Oh we’re harming national security.’”

Recently, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that Sessions should end Mueller’s investigation — a conveniently-timed demand that Nunes’ “contempt” threat compliments rather nicely if the goal is to pressure Sessions to interfere in the investigation.

Contempt of Congress can net the Attorney General up to one-year prison time if Sessions doesn’t call in line with Trump.
